The product has a startup sequence that uses double doses for a while and
then it drops back the dosage to half amount once a week. I use the
maintenance dose all year long with my heated pond, but it is not needed for
most once the pond temperature drops below 50. If I see a scrape or bruise
on a fish that I suspect might become infected, I will treat twice a week
for a couple of weeks to try to keep the sore from getting started.
Rec.Ponds withdrawal was really getting to me with no power or internet.

Thanks Rich, I thought it was you I had heard giving raves for this
product.
Should it be used consistently?
Glad your back it has been pretty quiet on rec.ponds I think many were w/o
power. Say hello to Donna, Leesa let us know you were fairing okay. Joann

I have been using it since its inception about 4 or 5 years ago. I
consider
it to be the silver bullet for preventing ulcers from forming. We had
serious problems our 2nd or 3rd year of ponding because we were ignorant
of
water quality, over crowding, and fish health issues. KoiZyme came on
the
market, got good reviews from Doc Johnson and in some of the koi mags so
we
started using it real early in its introduction. Swear by it.
Oh, BTW, got power back on Thursday, but did not have cable before we
left
for my 40th class reunion in Colorado. Got back yesterday and had a ton
of
email, bills, and other things that couldn't be done without power and
internet. Now, I AM BACK.

Koizyme competes for the same food source that aeromonas bacterias
live
on
until they infect a fish with a wound. Thus it indirectly kills
aeromonas
bacteria, so a fish with a predator or rock inflected wound doesn't
get
infected. ~ jan
